the original question on this thread was what was the BEST location for the fan switch.WES is 100% correct in his explanation.the reason fan switches are available for the engine is that chevys have half a dozen threaded holes on the engine and zero places to mount one on a stock radiator.will it work on the engine? of course it will. Will it work more efficiently on the radiator? yes it will. will it cut your fuel mileage in half ,rob you of 50 horsepower and make your engine explode? of course not. Saying you must be correct because you havent had a problem is like saying you dont need disc brakes because youve never rear ended anyone and timing lights are stupid cause youve always tuned your car by ear and it hasnt blown up yet.
